Robert Ngwenya's business 20Elevation is a construction and landscaping firm founded in 2011.

According to the businessman himself, another attempt was made on his life in 2021. Zinhle Mabena was arrested on 16 February for attempting to kill her husband. This accusation comes after a shooting incident on 28 January that led to the death of Robert's bodyguard. Zinhle, on the other hand, claimed that the whole affair was a ruse to scare her and tarnish her name.
Is Zinhle Ngwenya married?
It took these two only six months of courting before they decided to get married at a secret ceremony in 2017. The couple has two children together, and the philanthropist is also the father of three more from a previous marriage.
Sadly, after five years of marriage, the two have separated, and things took a turn for the worst. In 2021, Zinhle was accused of attempting to end her husband's life.
"...nothing plausible was provided...All these mischievous allegations ironically come from her husband who she has recently filed a divorce against, and against whom our client has obtained an Interim Protection Order."
Zinhle Mabena's estranged husband has been handed a warrant of arrest for allegedly breaking the protection order the Isibaya singer has against him.

Robert Ngwenya may have been married to the Mzanzi Magic starlet Zinhle Mabena for five years, but the pair are officially divorced, and we doubt there is any room for reconciliation. When the entrepreneur's bodyguard was shot dead in January 2021, he accused Zinhle of attempted murder, and she retaliated with a restraining order against her former husband. In addition, the once-wealthy man seems to be having financial troubles, as his assets are slowly being repossessed.
